Create Keyboard Shortcuts For Important Folders In Windows

in Windows Tips

Windows only - If you deal with folders and files everyday in Windows then there are chances that you’ve got 2-3 very important folders which you open and close on a frequent basis. So don’t you think it would be convenient if you’ve got a keyboard shortcut assigned to that important folder which you open every 20 mins or so ? That’ll save a lot of time for sure.

So here are the steps to do it :-

1. First, you need to create a shortcut to that folder on the desktop. This can be done by right clicking on it and then Send To - > Desktop.

2. Now you should find the shortcut to that folder on the desktop. Give it a right click and then go to properties - > Shortcut key. Just type any letter there and by default Ctrl+Alt will be prefixed to that letter.

Hence if  you type the letter ‘ P ‘ then you can now open that folder quickly by pressing Ctrl+Alt+P. This has saved me time and hope it helps you too.
